Powers, radicals, and reciprocals F G b %c %a Calculates the square of a value. The TI-34 MultiView™ calculator evaluates expressions entered with F from left to right in both Classic and MathPrint™ modes. Pressing 3 F F calculates as (32)2 = 81. Raises a value to the power indicated. If you insert an expression as the exponent, you must place it between parentheses. In Classic mode, exponentiation using G is evaluated from left to right. The expression 2^3^2 is evaluated as (2^3)^2, with a result of 64. In MathPrint™ mode, exponentiation using G is evaluated from right to left. The expression 2^3^2 is evaluated as 2^(3^2), with the result of 512. Calculates the square root of a positive value. Calculates the xth root of any positive value and any odd integer root of a negative value. Calculates the reciprocal of a value. Examples 5 F T 4 G D 2 T 1 E < 10 G M 2 < b 49 < b3FT2G4 < 21
